Horta: "Veni, vidi, vici!"Spock: Assuming you are attempting Julius Caesar's famous declaration upon return from battle, I am obliged to inform you that the correct, Roman-era pronunciation was nearer to "Weni, weedi, weeki!"Horta: Ahh! My ears! They've fallen off! (tunnels away)Spock: Captain, we must follow the monster.Kirk: Sorry, Spock. I can't hear you; my ears seem to be on the ground.

Horta: I'm really not much more than a pile of hair, but apparently I can knock walls down anyway.Kirk: Ah! A wall is collapsing on me! GAK!Spock: (over the comm) JIM!Kirk: No, not "JIM!" It's "GAK!" And it'll cost you fifty credits to get the records of your emoting excised.Spock: (Grumble, grumble) Fine. Deal.

Horta: "Cry havoc..."Kirk: "...and let slip the dogs of war!"Horta: Finally, someone who reads Shakespeare, if not in the original Horta.

Miners: Let us in! We want to kill the monster!Redshirt 3: With iron bars?Miners: And pitchforks.... Let us in anyway!

Kirk: Now how am I supposed to discuss pie with the Horta if it can't understand me? Spock, mind meld with it.Spock: Very well. My mind to your mind... (Sup, Horta?)Horta: (Double, double, toil and trouble, fires will burn and cauldrons will bubble... unless you go get the life support pump in yon Chamber of the Ages.)Kirk: I wonder if you could make a good pie with these silicon nodules...Spock: (Er, the captain says he would fly, now that we understand that the nodules are your eggs.)Horta: (But soft, what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and my eggs are the sun. Okay. Better now.)

Kirk: Well, what kind of pie does it like?Spock: Um... pecan?Kirk: I think I see the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

McCoy: I can't think of anything funny to say while fixing the Horta's ears.Spock: Actually, doctor, by calling attention to the fact that you were not being funny, you were being, on some level, funny.McCoy: My ears!

Captain's Starlog: I know I'm not supposed to say Starlog," but I thought that the "retro" sound would boost our ratings. Just like on Enterprise. Ha! Hahaha! Mwahahahaha!

Kirk: Ahh. Who knew that pie would bring two disparate species together?Spock: Grr... No more PIE!Scotty: Ah! My ears!Spock: And no more EAR JOKES!Kirk: Anger is an emotion, Mr. Spock. A human emotion. (giggles)
(Spock nerve-pinches Kirk at Ludicrous Speed)
